Jamar is a variant of the Arabic Jamal which is derived from the Irish Kenneth or Canice which means "beautiful or handsome." St. Kenneth (if your religion recognizes saints) was an Irish missionary who eventually went to Scotland and drove out the Druids. He is known as a healer in Catholic Church history.2012-01-30 18:06:39Zrn4kidsawthttp://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.jamar/52/mb.ashxRe: name Jamarhttp://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.jamar/8.2.1.1.1.1.1.2.2.1/mb.ashx

Regarding Richard A's initial, my guess would be Adams. After all, his mother was an adams, so it would make sense to have given her maiden name to one of his children. If she was the cousin of John Quincy Adams, wouldn't you want the Adams name given to at least one of your children?2009-07-21 02:22:31Zvickie7478http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.jamar/6.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.2.1.2.1.1.1.2/mb.ashxRe: Origin of Jamarhttp://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.jamar/6.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.2.1.2.1.1.1.1.1/mb.ashx

I don't think the older Richard was an overseerer, but I know Richard A was an overseerer for the Hattan's. It's where he met his wife Sally Hattan. This is evidenced by the Supreme Court case I was telling you about. It states in that case that Richard A was the overseer for the Hattan's at the time of the contested sale to James from brother Sammuel of the strip of land that's in dispute in the case. Richard, Sr's last wife seems to have been from N Carolina. Her name is Sarah. Several years ago when I was researching all this, there seemed to have been a Lucy as a wife to one of the Richard's. Everyone at that time thought it was Richard Sr's 2nd wife, but this time around no one seems to be mentioning a Lucy. That's interesting about the stock sale. I have also wondered about this 3rd wife from N Carolina and how he would have met her. I thought she might have been visiting someone in Madison, Co, but instead he met her while buying slaves in N Carolina? This would have been around 1845. So, it's after they had all moved from Virginia and it was just a "buying trip." Wonder why N Carolina? Did no one in Madison have slaves for sale? I'm wondering if he had aquired more land and needed more workers? I remember seeing years ago some land grant land he aquired, but can't remember any date on it.<br> <br> 2009-07-17 03:33:13Zvickie7478http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.jamar/6.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.2.1.2.1.1/mb.ashxRe: Origin of Jamarhttp://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.jamar/6.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.2.1.1.1.1.1.1.1/mb.ashx

Richard had an interesting life and 3 wives. it get confusing trying decipher everything especially when the people back then made so many mistakes and they just talked different. that document that had him him selling 20 slaves was in 1881 after the civil war was actually stocks.<br><br>My cousin Pat from Huntville Alabama "You are NOTgoing to believe what I found out yesterday. Richard's Jamar's estate did not sell 20 slaves in 1881. At the time of his death, slavery was over. The estate was petition to sell 20 Shares of Stock that he had owned in the M&amp; C Rail Roal. As we (the clerk at the courthouse) read more we discovered that the <br>M &amp; C RR. stood for Memphis &amp; Charlotte Rail Road Company. We googled it and guess what popped up. A picture of the Old Huntsville Depot. He owned stock in the rail roads! The clerk and I were wide eyed with amazement. Neither one of us had no idea that the original name of the Old Huntsville Depot was Memphis &amp; Charlotte Rail Road Company.

OK, so now I'm responding to this post, which helps clarify it even some more. Am I understanding this is an article that appeared in something? If so, what? I still don't understand why George Thomas was mentioned in the will I have as an equal inheirtor, if he was only a grandson. The only other grandchild mentioned as an equal inheirtor is Elizabeth Owens, whose mother was deceased. So, it appears Elizabeth is inheirting her mother's prortion. Again, I've got to get home and put this down on paper and see if it gets less muddy. How interesting that Richard may have married a cousin of John Quincy Adams! :-)2009-07-16 03:10:09Zvickie7478http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.jamar/6.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.2.1.1.1.2/mb.ashxRe: Origin of Jamarhttp://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.jamar/6.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.2.1.2/mb.ashx
Hi Vance, this is the Nancy you were talking too. Sorry, but I have been delayed getting home, AC problems. So, it will be awhile, but I will let you know when we can talk through regular email. I'm reading with interest the story on the Richards. I knew there were too many to just be 2. However, It's not Richard,Sr, Henri's son, who married Sally Hattan. It's Richard A. There's an Alabama Supreme Court case I read a few nights back, in which Richard A and his wife Sally Hattan are testifying as witnesses to a case brought by Sally's two sisters against her brother James's wife over some land James bought from his brother Sammuel for their mother, but left in his name. So, we've made a mistake about Richard, Sr being married to Sally Hattan. He was, I think, married to Mary Catherine Mahone aound 1838-1845. It looks as though George Thomas (born in Feb of 1845) may have been their son, and she might have died in giving birth. I say this because he possibly married a Sarah from North Carolina that same year. She gives her bithplace on the census records as North Carolina. Yet, George Thomas always gives his mother's birthplace as Alabama. So, it appears at this point, without some futher research, that he's giving the birthplace of his birth mother, rather than his step-mother who probably raised him? Anyway, this mystery still needs some futher research. 2009-07-16 02:54:23Zvickie7478http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.jamar/6.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.2.1.2/mb.ashxRe: Origin of Jamarhttp://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.jamar/6.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.2.1.1.1.1/mb.ashx
Several of the Jamars were preachers in the Methodist church CME and AME. Where The African Methodist Episcopal Church, usually called the "AME Church" and The Christian Methodist Episcopal Church is a historically black denomination within the broader context of Methodism.2009-07-07 12:35:03Zvance43211http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.jamar/6.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.2.1.1.1.1/mb.ashxRe: Origin of Jamarhttp://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.jamar/6.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.2.1.1.1/mb.ashx

He died here in 1872, having attained great wealth, but he left no will for probate. He married three times. His first wife was Elizabeth Adams, said to be a cousin of John Quincy Adams. Richard and Elizabeth had four children: Larkin, born in 1812; Richard A., 1814; Mary C., 1815; Thomas F.; 1816. Elizabeth died in 1832.<br><br>Larkin Jamar married Francis Ann Bransford.

No surname has been identified for Lucy, nor has their marriage record been found. Lucy died in January of 1838, but she gave birth to Richard Sr.'s second son named Richard. Lucy's Richard was born 22 years after the Richard born to Elizabeth, Richard Sr.'s first wife.

She was born in 1816, but her tombstone in Limestone County's Peete Cemetery says 1826. She died in 1845 after giving birth to George Thomas Jamar (1845-1920). This name also was used twice in the family, since Richard Sr. and his third wife, Sarah Hatton, had a son of that name who was also born in 1845. Richard Sr. married Sarah in 1838. She was a daughter of Frank and Fanny Hatton.<br><br>The third child of Richard and Elizabeth Jamar was another Mary C.

The little cemetery along Martin Road has a small marker for Lucy, Richard Sr.'s second wife. A fragment of another headstone contains only the letter F" on it. That may be part of a marker for Thomas F. Jamar. The newspaper notice of his passing stated that he died in Green Grove and was buried at his home in Mullens Flat.<br><br>Green Grove fits for the Owen and Jamar home sites along the river in the southern part of the Arsenal. Green Grove is known to have been the name of a 1900s community in that area. Yet in the mid-1800s, that name was used for a small community in the northwestern portion of the Arsenal. Records apparently refer to the Jamar lands at Martin and Zierdt Roads as the Green Grove Plantation. One source stated that Richard A. Jamar, the son of Richard Sr. and Elizabeth and the husband of Mary Catherine Mahone, was buried in the Green Grove Plantation Cemetery. Yet, the Maple Hill Cemetery records show that both this Richard and his brother Thomas F. Jamar died in January of 1892 and are both buried at Maple Hill.

My cousin Patricia who still lives in Huntsville added this<br><br>FYI: Redstone Arsenal is located right next to the Jamar Cemetary. Your information is spot on. Another interesting fact about Redstone. After slavery a majority of the land was once owned by black folks. My step great grand father owned land in that area.
